It's Gia's World



Sarasota Magazine says "Gia Ventola:  A fashion celeb in her own right, Gia began her meteoric retail career after designing stage costumes for the likes of Britney, Pink and Beyoncé. Her rock-star style is Sarasota-ized with looks ranging from sophisticated to cutting-edge-refined in a 6,000-square-foot boutique where Gia and a fashion-savvy staff dress admirers from head to toe."  http://www.giaventola.com/

the best DREAMS happen when you're AWAKE~

..as my buddy Jannik would say!  His handmade bead and diamond jewelry pole vaulted off the shelves this year!  Designer to the hottest celebs, his eclectic line blends spirituality with style.  Of course you've got to be pretty cool to sport the Shamballa!  Layers are the trend and you'd better have some fat pockets!  Be prepared to throw down $500 to $1500 a pop for these little goodies... let's see, x6.. you've got yourself an investment!  Check out more on Jannik and Nialaya at http://www.nialaya.com/  I think me n Jannik have matching smiles ;D  must be the Icelandic roots!

all you need is...

Two of my favorite photographers happen to be two of my favorite friends!  Lisa Robyn Deutsch (top) is an award winning set designer/art director with movies like The Wedding Singer and American Virgin to her credit.  Her photography collection reveals a repeated expression of "love, happiness & serenity".  Good luck finding her prints.  She hoards them all in her own house & leaves us empty handed :(  Eventually I will convince her to share her splendor with the rest of us!  What I love about Brooke Lauren (bottom) is that she literally transports you with her photography and gives the viewer the experience of being present in the picture... a remarkable talent!  For more Brooke Lauren, go to http://www.brookelaurenfilm.com/

Baubles... tiny baubles

Tiffany&Co will gladly wrap these up in a pretty blue box for about $35k. EACH.  I'd probably skip the packaging and save you half the money! Approx 1.5 carats each of Fancy Yellow Diamonds these darling little stackable rings could surely stack up the bill !! ;)

My favorite piece of jewelry in the whole wide world~




6 carat diamond cross

 

The Gastineau Girls ~

Before they were The Gastineau Girls and before they launched Tres Glam, Lisa and Brittny Gastineau used to frequent our Aspen boutique for luxurious baubles.  Lisa was a goddess. Flaxen blonde and stunning. She was confident, dynamic, fiesty, sexy and she wore her jewelry like nobody's business.  She was a junkie ~  too much was never enough and every piece looked better simply because it was clinging to her body! It never mattered what she wore... she had the va-voom and the Chutzpah to pull off anything.  She favored this Van Cleef Snowflake earring 14.60 carats at $81,000.  But in the end, it was the evil eye that won her heart ;)  http://tresglam.blogspot.com/  By all accounts, LG is probably one of the coolest chicks in all of reality tv.  She's about as genuine as it gets!

The one, two, punch

Lorenzo Fertitta (UFC) can be intimidating.  He's a man of few words.  Gentle as a lion... if you know what I mean ;) Maybe the fact that he's Italian makes him uber sexy, maybe it's the fact that he dominates his industry with power and elegance.  Could be that he's got a rockin body!!  Either way, when a man like Lorenzo decides to buy his wife a ring... he's not playing around!  I sold him a 30 carat D, Flawless Asscher cut diamond with a matching pair of earrings 10 carats each!  Talk about a knockout!!

Tiret Timepiece

Pink. The new black.

You can find Deborah Brown of Lady Brown Couture http://ladybrowncouture.com/ sexying up the Tiret Second Chance w Pink Diamond Splash.  Nearly 12 carats of  D,E,F, VS and natural fancy pink diamonds make this timepiece a sparkling tribute to pink!

Lay your weary head to rest....

I have a weakness for Italian furniture ... and zebras ;)

22 Ti

Titanium.  The new auto chrono from Tiret. A lean mean sex machine... I don't deny it's HOT!  I want it!  oh that's right, I GOT it, and you can have it too! Retail $7,490 .

Harry and Winston get engaged~

Very sweet, but these two birdbrains could have saved a bundle if they would have bought that ring from ME instead!!

Brookey Bear!

Not only is Brooke Lauren one of THE most gorgeous women I've ever met, she's talented beyond words.  I had the fortune of co-starring in VH1's Secrets of Aspen with my Brookey Bear! Now we all know reality tv has a way of dumbing us down... let me tell you.. there's more to this sultry brunette than meets the eye!  Her photography is ethereal.  It takes you places you only dream of going and leaves you gasping for more.  The absolute essence of Miss Brooke herself ;)  Check out Brooke Lauren Photography here http://www.brookelaurenfilm.com/

Stacey Dash in Tiret Timepieces

Makes me want to "dash" right out and buy one!

Watch me now!

When Tiret Luxury Timepieces were first introduced to me I was hesitant. I had never dealt in watches before.  It was like trying to make apple cider with oranges.  I just had no clue.  As time progressed (pun intended)  I began to understand the creative rareness of these elegant timepieces.  Daniel Lazar had been a designer for Cartier and another unmentionable for many years before venturing on his own to create an exclusive brand of watch that not only delivers top quality, but also extraordinary design. They are not for the timid!!  You either WEAR this piece, or it will be sure to wear you!  In your face and significant, it screams "Look at ME"!!  If you care to spend your dollars on a traditional Rolex or Patek, it's just as well that you wear a one piece to go skinny dipping.  Go ahead, play it safe. Tiret is for the brave and bold!  This is a watch collector's dream!  The finest goods, unique bezels and styles, and a limited number of timepieces make this the exclusive watch to buy today!

Good golly Miss Mali

Boundless energy, sass and sex appeal!  Mal's is my funky bohemian sister!  She founded her own brand of jewelry mixing natural elements with a glamourous edge.  I love this Shark Tooth necklace on leather! Here it's featured on chain on Mila Kunis in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".  Check out her website for more information http://www.malisabatasso.com/

Once upon a time, in a far away land...
